Capítulo 1929: Chapter 1510: Reasoning Doesn’t Work
The bald man was resolute, mistaking Bai Xiaosheng for the target of their debt collection — that useless Lin Family mber. Watching him “shalessly deny” and “refuse to admit,” the bald man was filled with fury.
How little do they think of us street brothers, to dare to blatantly be so shaless? This is provoking us to get rough!
Although this is a shopping center, if we act quickly, it wouldn’t cause much of a stir. If it cos to that, we’ll have to speak with our fists! The Lin Family can know all they want! At worst, if things go wrong, we’ll just lay low for a while! In the underworld, reputation is everything!
The bald man decided to take a hard approach.
In his eyes, Bai Xiaosheng was nothing but a weakling, even if he had a tall companion beside him, so what?
They had numbers!
The guys behind the bald man heard Bai Xiaosheng’s words and were equally agitated.
How could street toughs allow their dignity to be trampled like this!
The mont the bald man spoke, three guys moved forward, not imdiately laying hands on Bai Xiaosheng but instead flexing their muscular arms, displaying solid pecs, and revealing their exaggerated tattoos.
This is called showing off power!
The reason Baldhead beca their leader was all due to his education; he was a high school graduate. Listen to Baldhead’s words of wisdom —
“Fighting isn’t the purpose, making the opponent feel fear is!”
Listen, that’s truly profound!
So these guys always show off their muscles and flaunt their strength before throwing punches.
Standing by Bai Xiaosheng, Lei Ying, already impatient, was taken aback and then looked on in sheer disdain.
He thought these guys were hardcore street fighters, but turns out they were just a bunch of jokers…
Lin Weiwei was similarly amused and showed equal disdain.
“Don’t be in a rush to act; let’s get things straight first,” Bai Xiaosheng said in a serious tone to the bald man and his approaching crew.
Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t afraid of a fight; with Lei Ying around, or even on his own, he felt he could handle this bunch.
However, he wasn’t going to fight without reason; he wouldn’t like being used like a pawn.
“Get things straight? Isn’t it already clear?” The bald man spread his hands and spoke to his brothers.
Their gang sneered, glaring at Bai Xiaosheng.
From Baldhead’s perspective, Bai Xiaosheng was about to make a move but got scared, trying to pull the “talk not fight” trick.
Unfortunately, they were no gentlen, more like true scoundrels!
“Let ask, was it that guy who told you I’m the one you’re looking for?” Bai Xiaosheng pointed to the man Baldhead’s crew was watching, the real Mr. Lin, “If he did, let him co over; I can confront him directly!”
To Bai Xiaosheng, a face-to-face could easily clear any misunderstanding.
Mr. Lin’s expression slightly changed but quickly returned to normal.
The bald man glanced over at Mr. Lin, who instantly beca panicked and fearfully looked from Bai Xiaosheng back to him, shaking his head and stamring, “No, no, he’s not our family master, he really isn’t! Master, I didn’t betray you…pah, he’s not our master at all! I don’t even know him!”
Mr. Lin was truly crafty, retreating to advance.
Now more confident, Baldhead turned back to coldly smile at Bai Xiaosheng, as if saying, “Now what do you have to say?”
“You’ve got a good subordinate; don’t be too hard on him later,” Baldhead advised lightly.
Bai Xiaosheng was speechless.
Frankly, he thought the guy’s acting was poor, full of loopholes, but Baldhead’s crew believed it.
Indeed, he couldn’t expect everyone to have his keen perception.
Besides, Baldhead had already assud he was Mr. Lin, plus the act played by Mr. Lin’s subordinate made it seem valid.
“You’ve decided I’m the one you’re looking for, right?” Bai Xiaosheng sighed slightly to the bald man.
The bald man nodded.
“Is there anything I say that’s going to change that?” Bai Xiaosheng asked again.
The bald man nodded once more.
“If I don’t pay up, you’re going to take by force, right?” Bai Xiaosheng asked a third ti.
The bald man continued nodding.
“If I don’t want to go with you, you’ll resort to violence, right?” Bai Xiaosheng inquired a fourth ti.
The bald man got irritated and cursed, “Why are you yapping so much! Just hurry before my brothers have to get rough, which won’t be pretty. You’re a Lin Family heir, don’t get all mushy, why talk so ssy!”
Bai Xiaosheng faced the insult with a blank expression, remaining calm, looked around, and said, “Let’s find a quiet place to talk first? If we fight here, you guys will find it hard too!”
Underfoot, this was a shopping center with people constantly passing by; standing here chatting, many curious onlookers had begun to gaze over.
Start a fight? Soone would soon call the police!
Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t keen on being taken to a police station for questioning — once his identity was leaked, it’d beco big news.
Baldhead reckoned Bai Xiaosheng might be worried about losing face publicly, preferring to discuss the debt issues sowhere private.
This ti, Baldhead agreed, as Bai Xiaosheng was right — too many people made acting troubleso.
His eyes scanned the area, caught sight of a secluded fire escape, and raised his hand to point, “There! Lin Sheng, let’s talk inside there! Close the door, and the folks outside won’t see your… embarrassnt!”
Bai Xiaosheng glanced over, nodded, and began walking toward it.
Lin Weiwei followed suit, along with Lei Ying.
To them, the sooner this ended, the quicker they could continue shopping.
The bald man also led his crew over.
The actual Mr. Lin, extrely unwilling, smiled apologetically to the two who were pushing him, “Hey, could you two big brothers, there’s no need for now, can, can I go first?”
The two glared at him.
One scoffed, “What, you think you’ll find help or report us, trying to get us locked up?”
Mr. Lin quickly shook his head, saying he wouldn’t dare.
The two didn’t care whether he dared or not, shoving him along.
Bai Xiaosheng and his friends were the first to enter the fire escape, followed by Baldhead and his three underlings, with the last one closing the door and leaving Mr. Lin and his two guards outside.
“You two stay and watch, we’ll wrap this up quickly,” the last man called out to his companions before the door shut.
The two nodded.
Monts after entering, the door opened again, and a large hand extended, pointing inside, as a deep voice said, “Your boss wants you two inside for a chat.”
That was Lei Ying’s voice.
Mr. Lin’s two escorts were startled, glanced at each other, debating what it was about when the hand withdrew and the door closed lightly.
“Should we go in, if he runs, won’t Baldhead be angry with us?” one whispered urgently.
“You won’t obey Baldhead, now that’s real trouble!” the other whispered back, then looked at Mr. Lin, pointing threateningly, “Stay put and don’t move, got it! You try anything, we’ll beat you every ti we see you!”
Mr. Lin nodded, shrinking, repeatedly assuring, “Won’t dare, won’t dare, I’ll obediently wait right here.”
With that assurance, the two finally opened the door, and entered one after the other.
As the door shut, Mr. Lin’s timid deanor vanished, and after a quick survey, he sprinted away.
Wait here? Hell no! If the misunderstanding gets cleared, I’m exposed!
This guy ran fast, probably often chased. As soon as he disappeared down the way, the fire escape door opened again, Bai Xiaosheng and his crew stepping back out.
“Huh, where is he, ran off?” Lin Weiwei looked around, missing the bespectacled man.
“Of course he ran.” Lei Ying muttered, “Should have called him inside too.”
Bai Xiaosheng exhaled deeply, beckoning them away, “Forget it, there’s little chance we’ll et again.”
Lin Weiwei followed in step, “Don’t count on it, they’re chasing debt from that Lin Family waste, they conned us, we should address this at the Lin Family later!”
Lei Ying joined them, “Going to the Lin Family would be formal, such petty things aren’t suitable to bring up.”
The three chatted as they left, the fire escape door gently closing behind.
Through the crack of light, Baldhead’s crew lay sprawled, all downed.
This was possibly the most disastrous episode in their debt collection career, utterly defeated…
